Vibe
Palm-fringed, loads of amenities including an accessible boardwalk, popular but relaxed. Even at peak holiday times Main Beach doesn’t have the crowds you can find at Panama City Beach or Daytona, and the vibe is family-friendly. Kids splashing in the waves, fishermen casting their lines into the surf, and friends playing volleyball are common sights. You can even bring your dog for a romp by the Atlantic. Here’s information from AmeliaIslandLiving.com about more area beaches.
See, feel
Rolling dunes speckled with sea oats, cocoa-colored sand and a playground of waves make this beach easy on the eyes. The sand is similar to the consistency of sugar crystals, and mainly hard-packed near the water, so you can ride a bike on the beach. It’s in a residential area, without high rises to block the views. Expect some surf, which will vary depending on tides, the wind, and offshore systems.
